Lambton College partners with Western Sarnia-Lambton Research Park to host Research Day 2014

Sarnia, Ontario (March 11, 2014) - Lambton College is pleased to announce they have joined forces with Western Sarnia-Lambton Research Park to present Research Day 2014 at the Lambton College Residence & Event Centre (formerly the Lambton INN) on Thursday, March 20.

The daylong event will showcase the exciting and innovative activities taking place at both organizations while celebrating the continued growth of research initiatives in Sarnia–Lambton. Both Lambton College and the Western Sarnia-Lambton Research Park have been instrumental in developing research projects and obtaining funding in the areas of energy, material development, instrumentation, biotechnology, water, social science, health and more. Because of their success, local businesses and organizations can access the expertise available at both the college and the park without having to leave Lambton County for their research and commercialization needs.

Research Day 2014 will feature presentations highlighting current projects taking place through Lambton College Applied Research & Innovation and the Western Sarnia- Lambton Research Park. Each presentation will explain each project in detail, providing background information, partnerships, current project status and future direction. A tour of both research facilities will conclude the day’s events.

Invitations to this informative event have been extended to a variety of people, businesses and organizations including community partners, dignitaries, provincial enterprises, funding supporters and industry leaders. Lambton College and Western Sarnia-Lambton Research Park hope this event helps to further educate the community about research capacity and capabilities in an effort to enhance future partnership opportunities.
